I'm going to say this right now and I'm being so fucking serious. If I catch you smearing people who are just having fun with their ships, I will block you. I don't give a fuck if you're a mutual or not. That shit is toxic. Let people have fun in their own space. - ThreadSky | a Reddit-style client for Bluesky

Louder for the people in the back!!

I'll never understand why this is such an issue. It's awful.

valvalentine.bsky.social•2 days ago

So awful. Hating on what others do doesn't make you original or better. It makes you a loser.

dawnriedoodles.bsky.social•2 days ago

Yep, it's pathetic that you have nothing better to do than to bag on others that are enjoying themselves, and not hurting anyone else.

Some people never left high school behind, I swear.

It’s really sad to see

darethshiral.bsky.social•2 days ago

it's USUALLY only one of 2 things,people get "claimy" and seem to think that only THEY have the legit right to ship their character with an NPC,or they make fun of those whose ships don't seem to match up or something dumb like that, or worse. people got the maturity levels of high school mean girls

valvalentine.bsky.social•2 days ago

Literally all I saw was gossip, like grow the fuck up. Just absolutely braindead behavior.

darethshiral.bsky.social•2 days ago

yup, though at this point, NOTHING in the ffxiv community surprises me anymore. all i can do is shake my head and stay in my own corner and try to avoid those that seem to want to drag others down. i block where needed though.

valvalentine.bsky.social•2 days ago

Same. I might not like everything, and that's okay humans have preferences. What's not okay is being a fuckin asshole. Really hoping the people involved are doing okay and that their pillow is always on the cool side. 💕 You're lovely.

Im so glad I havent ran into such loser behavior before. Greatful for my small circle that supports and loves eachothers ships!!

The world can already be such a miserable place. If you act like what OP described touching grass is NOT enough for you

valvalentine.bsky.social•2 days ago

Their case is bad from what I saw. Basically just a circlejerk of "Ew Persephonies" like 3 year olds.

miavarlineau.bsky.social•2 days ago

guessing it is due to immaturity and jealousy over a fictional character they ship with themselves or their wol smh i hope they please go outside and get some real life problems to worry about

valvalentine.bsky.social•2 days ago

The only content they need to play is grass touching extreme.

miavarlineau.bsky.social•2 days ago

They need to hug the floor for a while. No rezzing until they reflect upon what they did 🤣

valvalentine.bsky.social•2 days ago

😂 That part.

miavarlineau.bsky.social•2 days ago

jfc just block and move on my sisters in Hydaelyn THEY ARE PIXELSSS

valvalentine.bsky.social•2 days ago

RIGHT!? I've never seen people so hung up on shit that DOESN'T AFFECT THEM

lazypotaterz.bsky.social•2 days ago

We should come together as a community and start throwing pickled onions at these people

scrptltus.bsky.social•2 days ago

Why would you waste pickled onions like that they’re delicious

lazypotaterz.bsky.social•2 days ago

You know what? You're right, it should be something like wet socks instead

valvalentine.bsky.social•2 days ago

LMAOO 😂 they don't deserve the food.

elezenpirate.bsky.social•2 days ago

Block and move on is too hard of a concept for the miserable.

valvalentine.bsky.social•2 days ago

Right? Why talk shit like that? That's loser behavior at its finest. Don't like? Mute/block done.

I have seen one ship, once, that made me severely side eye the person who chose it. And then I… scrolled. Because while I didn’t like it I’m also an adult capable of understanding that everyone’s imagination doesn’t have to meet my own metric of understanding. Not sure why others don’t get that 🫠

valvalentine.bsky.social•1 day ago

Exactly. Nobody needs to know my opinion of someone's preferred ship, especially when it is THEIR ship and not mine. We are certainly adults in this space, and we should be able to conduct ourselves as such. People need to learn not every space or every post is made for them.

colorofsakura.bsky.social•2 days ago

Exactly - if you don't like it, don't interact. There's definitely ships out there I'm curious *why* folks ship - but its literally just curiosity and I leave those people alone if they don't wanna discuss it (which is valid because no one has to justify their ships to ANYONE.)

ikara.etheirys.social•2 days ago

This!
I’ve seen a few ships for specific characters and I’m very “I personally don’t get it but I’m glad you’re having fun!” And just scroll on.

valvalentine.bsky.social•2 days ago

This! Nobody is everyone's cup of tea, and nobody expects that. I do however treat people with fucking respect even if it's not my personal interest.

rembutt.bsky.social•2 days ago

Genuinely, fr

valvalentine.bsky.social•2 days ago

So fr, like leave that shit in high school.

rembutt.bsky.social•2 days ago

It's always seemed crazy to me to care that much tbh
I think all the alternate AUs and headcanons you can encounter, as long as no one is acting like an authority or force of law about a ship then it literally doesn't matter, just block & move on 😭

valvalentine.bsky.social•2 days ago

Right? Like the entire story is a fucking sandbox designed that way on purpose for us to make of it what we will. Don't like someone's work? Find another box that's FOR YOU. Nobody is going to tailor their experience for you, we say curate for a reason.
